Irvine Officials Claim They Fear Rush To Build Great Park, Seek More Public Money

Larry Agran's Irvine political machine has wasted hundreds of millions of dollars not building a Great Park

Adam Elmahrek over at the Voice of OC published an informative article today on the latest skirmishes over the controversial development of Orange County's non-existent, so-called "Great Park" in Irvine.

Here's the key line from the Voice article: "City officials say FivePointCommunities [the real estate developer] is attempting to fast-track the approvals and critics say the project is being jammed through."

Back to Earth: "Fast-track" and "jammed through" are not the first descriptions that come to mind when anyone reasonable thinks about the proposed Great Park that is already supposed to have breathtaking public buildings and sports facilities.

In coming months, Irvine officials can celebrate that their alleged fast track worries never materialized.

They've managed the former military base for a whopping 10 years without any meaningful accomplishments--other than hoisting that gravity-defying Orange balloon over the property and diverting hundreds of millions of public dollars into the pockets of their own political consultants in no-bid contract scams.
